I'm out of London tomorrow, but if I do come back this is where I'll surely be...

What - The Bang Bang Ball, electronic party music/hip hop/disco

Where -512 Kingsland Rd, Dalston, E8 4AE

When -Fri 11th of June from 10pm till 5am

The Bang Bang is a collective of DJ’s, artists, musicians and creative people who are sick of the same old tired formats for life.

In the words of promoters Mani and Jordan "You should come, you’ll dance so hard your feet, and back will hurtthe next day, which, in our humble opinion, is the only reason to have a party! We have a FREE whistle give away, balloon animals and face painting, and we're going to provide Harribos for all of the people waiting in the (inevitable queue)."
